Can I create an app for my school called Monroe Elementary that allows parents to see the school calendar, lunch menu, etc. and then create a second app for another school called Lebanon Elementary that works the same way for that school?The core idea is that each app is inherently localized, all the way up to the name, icon, and scope of the app. I believe this is what users want, rather than downloading a nation-wide app and then selecting a specific school from within the app. I think this type app would get more adoption if users could say, Have you downloaded the Monroe Elementary app yet?... rather than, Have you downloaded the Bobo app and set it up to view Monroe Elementary yet?Would this approach be rejected by the Apple Review Team? I'm nervous that I would create and submit the entire app and be rejected on a conceptual basis because I am creating different versions for a specific location (see 4.3 below).4.3 SpamDon’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has di

In my latest apps Apple puts me this message:4. 3 Design: SpamGuideline 4.3 - DesignWe noticed that your app provides the same feature set as many of the other apps you've submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language.Apps that simply duplicate content or functionality create clutter, diminish the overall experience for the end user, and reduce the ability of developers to market their apps.Next StepsTo resolve this issue, please combine apps with similar feature sets into a single container app (using the in-app purchase API to deliver different content if appropriate).We encourage you to review your app concept and incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.I try to find out what exactly is container but when I ask them they answer the same answer again. Has someone happened to you? Anyone know what exactly is a container? Thank you

Hi,I created new app and submitted but the answer from Apple is:We noticed that your app provides the same feature set as other apps submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language, which is considered a form of spam.I coded and designed it by myself. There may be similar apps on App Store doing the similar job but that shouldn't make my app a spam! My algorithm is different and my UI is better. Why I can't compete with other apps? No sense.

I've exhausted all avenues getting this resolved; so I'm posting this here mainly to document the absurdity of what happened, and as a warning to other developers.We built an app that was rejected because of its name. We happily renamed the app, creating a new app record because we also wanted to rename the SKU and Bundle ID, and you can't do this any other way.Big mistakeNow there are two factors combining to put us in an impossible situation.The little-known, bizarre limitation of iTunes Connect that An app that has never been approved can never be deletedThe improper enforcement of the 4.3 guideline such that Similar apps you have submitted in the past apparently includes apps that were rejected and are not on the App Store.So now, our New Name app is being rejected for being too similar to our Old Name app. And the Old Name app can't be deleted because it was never approved.To make matters worse, thanks to inconsistent enforcement, our New Name app actually was approved in its first version (1.0)

Hi everyone,I got an application from a market and send to store. But rejected. What kind of changes can I make?We noticed that your app provides the same feature set as many of the other apps you've submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language, which is considered a form of spam.The following apps were found to provide different content but are identical in functionality:1262896391Next StepsTo resolve this issue, please combine apps with a common feature set into a single container app.You will experience a delayed review process if you deliberately disregard the App Store Review Guidelines, ignore previous rejection feedback in future app submissions, or use your app to mislead or deceive users.Important InformationAs a result of violating this guideline, your app’s review has been delayed.
